What is your biggest makeup pet peeve?

For me, it'd have to be would have to be eyeliners that require sharpening, especially when the eyeliner itself is sort of soft and creamy. I can never get it back into a nice tip, and it always end up very blunt. I hate, hate, hate sharpening eyeliners, they always clog the sharpener and, let's be honest, so much makeup is wasted that way. Retractable crayon eyeliners are usually what I use, but I hate when there's a color or brand of eyeliner that I want to use, but requires sharpening. The same thing goes for lipsticks or basically any creamy pencil. Ah-noy-ing!

One of my biggest pet peeves is probably my own fault -- I hate when mascara goes sour before its expiration. My TooFaced LashGasm just started to smell off -- I haven't had it that long, but I'm totally guilty of not screwing the cap on tightly, so I think it's my fault more than the product's, because I'm often in a hurry in the morning when I'm applying mascara.

I have a similar gripe about eyeliners -- it feels as though I'm constantly sharpening them! I prefer a thin line, but it requires constant sharpening. I'd probably be better off with liquid or gel, but I'm not skilled at applying it in a razor sharp line (and it ends up being way too thick!).

I totally agree with you gals regarding blushes, eye shadows, and lip glosses that just won't show up! I've seriously tried blushes that people swear by and it just doesn't show up on me unless I literally apply it 10 times. That always makes me feel like something's wrong with my skin!

I hate washing makeup brushes. It's so much work and it takes forever and it stains my sink (it's white) so I have to scrub the sink afterwards. I wish a magical elf would wash my brushes for me when I'm at work!

Re: What is your biggest makeup pet peeve?

I agree! Its such a process and then bristles start coming off and I sit there wondering if that enough cleaning or should i do it a couple more times to make extra sure they're clean. By the time Im done its 2 hours later and my counters are full of brushes that need to sit and dry themselves -.-

Re: What is your biggest makeup pet peeve?

I completely feel your pain marydiva. The worst is when you toss a pencil product into your makeup pouch, then go to use it only to find that it is in need of a little sharpening. Thank goodness a lot of brands are including sharpeners along with their pencils.

My pet peeve would have to be dirty makeup/packaging. I know, I know it's kind of odd. I just hate when makeup gets dirty, semi clogged due to product, etc. Usually I'll dedicate one day out of the week to cleaning my most used items. I find that products in tubes seem to get the worst of it. My POREfessional looked like an antique a few weeks ago, but a makeup wipe was able to polish it right up.

To go along with Janine's pet peeve of dirty packaging, I hate it when the packaging/dispenser makes you waste product. I can't control how much squirts out, or I can't get to the last bit without breaking the container. Very annoying.
